A blunt take on how far the UK has fallen behind America economically, framed as bad news for Britain.

• The UK's income per person is so low it would rank below every US state if it joined the union.
• Mississippi, the poorest US state, has a slightly higher income per person than the UK.
• The gap shows how much richer the average American is than the average Brit.

Outlook: Without faster growth, the UK keeps slipping further behind the US economy.
